"prediction re the end of spreadsheets

AI code gen means that anything that is currently modeled as a spreadsheet is better modeled in code. You get all the advantages of software - libraries, open source, AI, all the complexity and expressiveness."

I agree, human-steered, AI-implemented test cases can at least capture the acceptance criteria.

It's then more efficient to inspect if existing test cases are being modified as part of the delivery of something new and inspect why.

I tend to agree,

If you have invested significantly in the planning phase and there is momentum in the architecture and conventions that already exist in the project, the implementation phase might not need as much oversight as is suggested here.

The planning and architecture phase is usually where I make these types of discovery at a high level.

> Your agent might go “off the rails” and start doing something you don’t want it to do

Candidly these orthogonal, inadvertent edits aren't as bad as they once were and for impactful changes there should be at least some test coverage, even if that test coverage is just "freezing" what was implemented.

As you mentioned the final review discussion is a good chance to verify beyond what review or adversarial review agents find.

Awesome! On trend with the aesthetic.

How did you accomplish the responsiveness with such a flexible layout?

Hopefully this isn't the only possible outcome...

Someone at Bose may also be interested in this kind of development.

What a beautiful idea. Like the application of quick analysis of ls or logs. Although now we are typically outputting JSON and collecting for Kibana.
We are using FastAPI in production.
